number of murders this year in the STL metro?
The KC metro has had 181 murders for a population of 2.16M. That is a murder rate of 8.4 per 100K .
STL has a population of about 2.81M. So to have the same murder rate as KC they would have about 236 murders. STL proper has has 196 murders so far which means the rest of the metro can only have 40 murders for their rate to be lower than KCs.
I don't believe that it is possible for over 2M people to have less than 40 murders when East STL is in the equation as well as some of the rougher suburbs in the city.
